“The Willow Pattern”
In 1st, 2nd & 3rd Class, we read a story called “The Story of the Willow Pattern” by Allan Drummond. It is a story of a rich girl called Koong-Shee who lived in China and fell in love with a poor boy called Chang. Her father was not very happy so they ran away. Do you have any dishes or plates with the willow pattern on it? If so, have a look and see if you can spot the willow tree, a bridge, a boat, a pagoda (or palace) and two doves in the sky. The story of Koong-Shee and Chang running away can be seen on the plates…
We designed our own Willow Plates in Art using blue paint on a white background.
